Turkish deputy premier: incidents progressing towards democratization in Cairo
ANKARA (A.A) – July 12, 2011 - Turkish Deputy Premier Bulent Arinc said that incidents in Cairo were progressing towards democratization without bloodshed.
Turkey wishes that reforms, elections and administrative changes will be made in line with the demands of people and through consensus and dialogue not only in Egypt but also in North African, Middle Eastern and Gulf countries, said Arinc who spoke at a program in TRT Haber channel in Cairo on Tuesday.
Noting that he would proceed from Cairo to Nigerian capital Abuja to attend the 14th meeting of the council of foreign ministers of the Developing-8, or D-8, Arinc said that D8 was established with the initiatives of late Turkish Prime Minister Necmettin Erbakan in 1997 and was comprised of eight countries.
Commenting on the revolutions in Arab world, Arinc said that the incidents were the desire for democracy. He added that people wanted more freedom and democracy.
Recalling that Turkish President Abdullah Gul visited Egypt in March, Arinc said that Turkish and Egyptian officials decided to further develop the diplomatic relations and cooperation on every level. He added that new administration in Egypt was pursuing good relations with Turkey.
Arinc said that the trade volume between Turkey and Egypt was currently 3.2 billion USD which was a good figure. He added that there were nearly 100 Turkish investments in textile, food, bottle glass and cement sectors in Egypt.
Arinc said that Turkish investors had 1.5 billion USD of capital in Egypt, adding that there were schools which were built by Turkish entrepreneurs in 3-4 cities in Egypt, and more than 3,000 students were being educated in these schools.
Noting that Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan would pay a visit to Egypt in July, Arinc said that Erdogan's visit would be a turning point. He said that Erdogan would visit this country probably within ten days.
Regarding the incidents in Syria, Arinc said that Turkey was successfully hosting Syrian people (who escaped from the violence in their country) in tent-sites set up by Red Crescent in the southern Hatay province.
He said that when security was restored in Syria, these people would return to their countries.
Arinc stressed that the regime in Syria should rapidly take steps to end the incidents.
